Niraj Kumar, officer in charge of the local police station, said the primary investigation didn’t suggest any dispute relating to a temple or untouchability.
“Our investigation suggests the victim, the killer and other youths were playing in a field seven days ago when a fight broke out between them,” he said.
“Horam, who is 18 years old, did not return home after the playground quarrel. He came back on Saturday night, went directly to the home of Vikas, who was sleeping on the veranda, and allegedly shot him dead. We are trying to arrest all the accused,” Niraj Kumar said.
